GARMENT-HANGING LOOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,461, dated December 28, 1897.

Application filed April 23, 1897.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN C. SOHWABE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hanging-Loops for Garments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to hanging-loops for garments. Its object is to provide a convenient hanging-loop for garments which will be both durable and neat in appearance. I accomplish this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of a loop constructed according to my invention in the proper position for supporting a garment. Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 is a top View, of same. Fig. 4 is an enlarged View of the metallic facing 1. Fig. 5 is a View of the blank from which the metallic facing 1 is formed.

The facing 1 is secured to the flexible cord 2, which is formed. into a loop, having the metal end pieces 3, with eyes 3 thereon. The eyes 3 engage the loop 4 on the member 4.

The facing 1 is formed of a single piece of sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 5. This is stamped into the form shown in Fig. 4, and

the points 1 are pressed into the material of the cord 2. Points 1 may be formedby an angular cut in the material of the piece 1.-

These are pressed inwardly, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, serving also to prevent the piece 1 from shifting its position on the cord. The piece 1 is open at the top, so that the cord shows through same, thus giving a neat appearance to the device. The end pieces 3 are also made of sheet metal provided with the points 3, which are pressed intothe material of the cord, so as firmly engage same.

The member 4 is crimped, so that same may Serial N0- 633,4-.31. (N0 model.)

be firmly sewed to the garment. This will be preferably sewed under the lining of the garment, with the loop 4' projecting through same.

The loop 2 will hang down from the loop 4 when not in use, the same being movably linked to the loop 4.

It will be seen that the office of the metallic facing 1 is to prevent wear on the loop where same engages the hook from which the garment may be suspended. This is provided on a Very limited portion of the loop,

so as to interfere but slightly with the fiexibility of the loop.

I prefer to attach the member 4 to the garment in such manner that the loop 4 will project in the position shown. This permits the loop 2 to hang flat against the garment when not in use and to shift to the upper part of the loop 4, thus again hanging flat against the garment when supporting same from a hook.

My device is designed particularly for coats,

cloaks, 850. but it will be seen that same may MARTIN O. SOI-IWABE.

Correction in Letters Patent No. 596,461.

It is hereby certified that in Letters Patent N 0. 596,461, granted December 28, 1897, upon application of Martin C. Schwabe, of Chicago, Illinois, for an improvement in Garment-Hanging Loops, an error appears in the printed specification requiring correction, as follows: After line 54 the following paragraphs should be inserted:

The ofiice of the eyes 3 and the loop 4 loop and to protect same against wear at this end. The member 4, to which the hanging loop is is to provide for a free hinge movement of the hanging thus limited is preferably made to conform to the proper shape of the garment. This provides a broad attaching surface, and is not as liable to draw the garment out of proper shape, as are the loops in ordinary use which are sewed at one or two points.

It is plain that a single eye 3 may be attached to both ends of the cord instead of using a separate eye on each end, and also that when both eyes 3" are used a separate loop 4 may be provided for each on the member 4.

And that the said Letters Patent should he read with this correction therein that the same may conform to the record of the case in the Patent Oflice.
